Chips look very similar to the ones used at Gala Notts

Woke up with food poisoning so have to skip ;(

Kinda surprised the palm beach one got so few runners, thought these Tournies were supposed to be pretty popular. I guess with Unibet next week people saving up for that, especially as it's at the Vic.

Sack the chef

Ha, morning Percy.

How was Vilamoura, or wherever it was? Spain, I assume?

EDIT - google tells me it is Portugal. Very nice. How was Lord Grumpy?

Grumpy was grumpy
Needed more afternoon naps

I've just looked at your question again Ralph. I didn't quite understand it the first time but now I do.

I think 20-30% is a conservative estimate.

Me too, I was going to suggest 50% at first but decided to err on the low side.

The whole point is that in an environment awash with "dirty" money and the folk associated with it, not to mention those age-old siblings needy and greedy, it seems churlish to be surprised and outraged at the odd stroke being pulled or someone playing with stolen money.

If the casinos barred everyone playing with dirty money they'd be almost empty, and there wouldn't be much poker action.

Is this really the case nowadays?
I would have agreed maybe 15 years ago but very surprised if there was that much dirty money around now

Yea pull yourself together Tikay! Oh I had a mountain of chips, oh how I lost them, boo hoo I am a nit. In my mind the reason for your lack of aggression is due to this high drama lamenting process. People who do that want to protect themselves from the horrible emotion so dwindle away whilst twiddling their willy. Emotion is a really big enemy of poker, not just at the table but in these moments of reflection. Positive emotion healthy, negative emotion cancerous, at any time of the day or night. I mean the reality is you got stuck in there, did your thing, and got bananas in a really respectable position. The fucking end. Next case. The trick is not to bat an eyelid when you banana, then aggro is much easier. Oh but I can't do that because (insert reason). Yes you can do that because it's history mate. You are in Vegas, playing cards tonight, cashing da monies, hooters girls at the table, trouble with the law. You living the life man so let's go and rip some new ones.

Love this
